The Welding Engineering Technology (Co-Op) program at Northern College offers the same advanced curriculum as the standard technology diploma but with a cooperative education option that integrates academic learning with paid supervised work experience. With this structure, students have a chance to use their knowledge from school on real tasks, network, and improve their resumes before they graduate. Many college students use welding robots to figure out ways to fix equipment and gain experience for future industrial jobs. This means that the outcome is someone who is respected as a consultant, a researcher, and an inspector.
Going through the co-op experience is admired by employers and helps a person stand out in their job search. Because of its emphasis on learning by doing, industry interactions, and flexible courses, Northern College is the preferred place for students looking to work in welding engineering technology.
